The competition takes place in the Otepää Uplands near the Elva river headwaters. Height difference on the terrain is 45 meters. The terrain is rather varied. The kame field consists of depressions, hills and small swamps in between them next to a swampterrain with dry-land protrusions. There is a dense network of roads and narrow rides altough nature is starting to reclaim the smaller tracks. Runnability in the forest varies from very good to medium.
